The Conquerors Path

Chapter 784: Chapter 782-Time To Change Some Plans.



They say there cannot be love without hate, and there cannot be hate without love. If you love someone, you will be capable of hating them one day, and if you hate someone, then maybe you will fall for them someday. After all, history is riddled with stories of the love between the greatest enemies and the most ferocious lovers.

"And that's why much of it was lost for the gods."

The gods are indeed capable of many emotions, but they do not have the league of love or lust, the two main components that make life worth living, being removed as an option itself for the gods, making the most efficient functioning heaven possible. With no connections like that, there would be no love being born or any half-borns existing anymore.

My eyes narrowed as the information, perhaps only I and the highest ones, only know, an information of a past long forgotten even by these new gods, a time before even time was defined, a situation being corrected that led to the current situation, one where the gods just live by. They have all the entertainment they can ask for.

But they don't have the love they will be able to keep with them, and that is the saddest part of all within this. And here comes I, the one that can give all these gods the one thing missing in their life, and it's the bloom coming from my blooming, along with the vitality of my soul, my soul itself being the mark that lifts the restrictions on the fully divine.

"And now I can wield that ability even at a higher level."

As I thought of this, an ability corresponding to the gods appeared before me.

**Ability: The Paradox of Passion**

**Rank: ???**

**Description:**

"The Paradox of Passion embodies the intertwined nature of love and hate, illuminating the duality of emotions that bind and break even the strongest of beings. With this ability, you become a catalyst for emotional upheaval, igniting the passions that lay dormant within the hearts of gods and mortals alike.

When activated, this ability draws on the intimate understanding of the connection between love and hate, creating a surge of conflicting emotions that can be felt by those in your presence. You can invoke powerful waves of affection that are layered with tension, turning even the deepest bonds into an intricate dance of desire and conflict.

**Core Mechanics:**

**Emotional Resonance:** The Paradox of Passion enables you to resonate with the emotional states of those around you, amplifying their feelings of both love and hate. This ability can be used to forge connections, strengthen bonds, or create rifts between individuals, making them question their own emotions and desires.

**Catalyst of Change:** As you invoke this power, individuals will experience a spectrum of emotions. A sworn enemy may find themselves questioning their animosity, while a beloved companion may feel a sudden surge of jealousy or doubt. This upheaval serves as a crucible for transformation, forcing characters to confront their feelings head-on.

**Euphoria and Despair:** The ability can be harnessed to create moments of intense emotional highs and lows. In times of conflict, it can push individuals to their limits, unleashing their deepest fears or desires. Those affected will find themselves both attracted to and repelled by the complexity of their feelings, leading to unexpected alliances or rivalries.

**Divine Infusion:** As a gift of your bloodline, The Paradox of Passion is amplified by your divine essence, granting you the ability to share a piece of your soul with others. This infusion deepens their emotional experiences, binding them to you even more strongly. This bond allows them to access a fragment of your power, fueling their own abilities while tethering them to the emotional complexities you create.

**Lore and Legacy:**

"This ability is a reminder of the past, a testament to the truth that love and hate are not merely opposites but intertwined forces that shape destinies. It is said that the gods, in their pursuit of an efficient existence, cast aside these emotions, inadvertently stripping their lives of true connection. You, however, stand at the threshold of rekindling this lost essence, capable of breathing life into relationships that span the divine and mortal realms.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With The Paradox of Passion, you hold the potential to challenge the very fabric of the heavens, invoking a renaissance of emotion among the deities who once shunned such vulnerability. Your journey is not just one of power but of understanding, allowing love to flourish even in the unlikeliest of places."

"Looks like my work is cut out for me."

I mused, knowing all the chaos I could cause with this power of mine. For a moment, my chaos side grew stronger over my mind, but before it could try to take hold of me, I held it back, a frown filling my face at the situation. Until I am fully complete, this issue of things mixing up will keep happening, which is not something I wish to keep happening.

Though the saving grace of this is the fact that I will be able to get better control, even if I just get the third segment, which is not going to happen for some time due to the very reason that the third segment that I need exists on the other side, it can't even be found in this world at all; I would need to cross over to the corrupted side.

Which I have no plans on doing now at all. Sure, I might be a half-divine now and can probably kick the asses of even some high gods if I was to risk everything, but that doesn't mean I will be safe on that other side because I still haven't reached the level to take on the supreme. I would only reach the level of creation with the third segment in my hands.

And here I am protected; here there is law and love that I can use, but the other side is pure chaos. The divine there move within their whim of amusement, and when I enter that place, they might like me one moment, but the next, they would just wish to kill me, and then the next moment, they might even be crazily in love with me.

And then the next moment, they might even try to torture me for fun to see how much they will be able to push their emotions for me. The funny thing is the fact that even for the divine on the other side, the concept of love and lust cannot be put into place. Here, I have this level of protection from the supremes.

But that won't be the case there. There, I won't even be able to tell how the chaos would unfold in that place, walking in there right now without having the ability to be fully protective against the gods would be just foolish. There is also the fact that I am still not used to all of my powers. Sure, I have them, but I am not proficient yet in using all this power, which would only drag me down.

Thus, for now, I will have to bind my time here to this side. Though I would eventually venture into chaos, I now have the ability to do that, but it would be after I settle some things. Also, the moment I enter the region of chaos, in a sense, would be epic, one that will happen in front of everyone and one that will be of very much use to me.

A small evil chuckle left my mouth as my mind started to work in full drive, trying to create more plans in my mind, plans of manipulation that would make me into the true hero and one that would put those so-called protagonists into chaos. Before, I wasn't even widening my full approach; now, onwards, I will be going full out.

Plus, now having a faint glimpse idea of why I must target these protagonists, my hesitation that I am trying to hurt some good guys is being removed from my mind, the limiters that were on my body preventing me from taking some drastic actions being removed away as I thought of how to use everything I have.

My mind flashed towards that book, the very book I planned to use at the end to hold my harem together from falling apart or even trying to kill each other. A smile filled my face as I thought of the ways I would even be able to use the gods to my advantage.

A certain scene flashed within my mind, a scene of me ruling over the heavens. With what I

have, it won't even be hard to make all the gods of heaven, which are women, to be mine, ones that will go crazy to be with me, ones that will get addicted to the touch of love and lust that they won't be able to feel towards the other living beings.

It also paints the picture of why all the divine beasts are also alone too. With their position and power, they should have had millions of kids by now, yet not even one of them has a spouse or kid, which means with the fact that even if you are not a born divine, once you enter upon the divine, the two main things that make you live are ripped away from you.

My eyes flashed for a moment, the image of a beautiful phoenix filling my eyes, one of the

very last. Legends say that phoenixes are a very passionate race, especially when they start to

love.

"Looks like I will have to broaden my plans once again."
